This is the practical option in a rented home, office, or already furnished living room where you do not want to open up the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral installation rule: aim for 1.70 to 1.90 m above the floor so that the shade directs the light onto the ceiling without revealing its interior. A light-colored ceiling reflects the light flow much better than a dark ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, finish and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shade is made of metal, in black or gold. The interior of the shade directly contributes to the effect: a gold surface warms the reflected light, while a black surface partially absorbs it and creates a more focused effect. As the shade faces upwards, it collects dust: dust it more frequently, with the appliance switched off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBulb and installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eE26\/E27 socket, bulb not included. Since the light source shines upwards, an E27 LED with a wide beam is recommended; a reflector bulb would lose the bounce effect. The appliance plugs into a socket: check its position before fixing the mounting plate to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you need an electrician to install this model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connection is made via a socket, so no work on the electrical circuit is required. The wall mounting remains to be adapted to the surface: a wall plug suitable for plasterboard, concrete, or brick. The manufacturer nevertheless recommends hiring a professional, especially if you wish to conceal the cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs indirect light sufficient for a living room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt creates a soft, glare-free atmosphere, but it does not replace a focused reading light. The light flow reflected from the ceiling loses intensity, especially if it is dark. Pair this wall light with a reading lamp if you work or read for long periods in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlack or gold for a dark room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a dark room, the gold finish is more effective: the interior of the shade reflects more light onto the ceiling and creates a warm effect. Black remains a relevant choice for a bold graphic effect, accepting a slightly weaker reflected light flow with the same bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the cord visible?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, since the power supply is via an electrical socket. Plan for a socket beneath the wall light to minimize the visible length, or a cable trunking painted the same color as the wall. Some customers choose to leave the cord visible, which suits the industrial style of this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor more\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore other flaring shapes in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/applique-murale\"\u003eour selection of wall lights\u003c\/a\u003e.
